Why You Need Plants

Plants are beneficial in many ways.

• Plants are visually attractive and can soften the sometimes-harsh effects of modern décor.

• Plants create a positive image for your clients and customers.

• Plants provide color and enhance the working/living environment.

• Plants are psychologically soothing and improve employee morale and productivity.

• Plants are natural air filters, helping to remove many indoor air pollutants.

• Plants are inexpensive.

Why You Need A Plant Service

When properly selected and cared for, indoor plants will remain healthy and attractive for many years. Poorly maintained plants quickly deteriorate and become unattractive and unappealing. An ailing plant is worse than no plant at all. We can expertly diagnose and treat plant problems.

Proper care of plants may not be rocket science, but it is much more than “throwing some water on them” every week. Professional indoor horticulturists have developed many special techniques for maintaining plants in difficult environments. These plant-hostile environments often include poor light, seasonal temperature fluctuations, very low humidity, poor water quality, and employee intervention. The special techniques used are not commonly known or understood outside the indoor plant service profession. (You can read the article, The Real Plant Experts, for more on this topic.)

Well-intentioned employees with “green thumbs” are limited in their time and knowledge for caring for office plants. The loss of an employee assigned to caring for plants will often spell disaster for the plants. A professional plant service can assure continuity of service.

We live in a world of service specialists. Most offices today - even small companies with a few employees - have specialists to maintain office equipment, provide beverages, keep the offices clean, and maintain their plants. 

 

What You Should Expect from Your Plant Service

  • Regularly scheduled service visits on the same day by the same person each week.

  • Neatly dressed service personnel who respect your office decor and decorum and who perform their tasks unobtrusively.

  • No visible brown, yellow or dusty leaves after each service visit.

  • Plants not allowed to outgrow their spaces. Proper pruning will keep plants looking appropriate in size and appearance for their individual locations.

  • No plant debris left around or near the plants, including office wastebaskets.

  • No water spills or equipment left behind.

  • Healthy attractive plants that add to your office ambience at all times.

  

Why Horticultural Help Is the Right Choice for Your Company

Horticultural Help is a small indoor plant service company that provides high quality personal service for small and medium sized companies and residences in Manhattan. After nearly 20 years, we remain small by choice. That guarantees the highest standard of service at competitive rates.

Larger plant service companies specialize in the installation of large specimen trees in shopping malls and building lobbies. They also employee hundreds of workers to water plants in small and medium sized offices. Because of their size, these large plant service companies are unable to provide the personal service that Horticultural Help offers.

• If you care about knowing and trusting the person who has access to your offices every week…

• If you care about the maturity, knowledge, and appearance of the person who cares for your plants…

• If you care about seeing the same service person week after week…

• If you care about seeing and dealing with a decision-maker from your plant service every week…

Then Horticultural Help is the right choice for you.
